80 - LA GAZZA LADRA

A feathered thief, a servant wrongly sentenced to death and a corrupt, power-hungry politician: those are the protagonists of Rossini’s semi-serious opera. Its overture is one of the best-known pieces in the history of music. La gazza ladra is set in a time of great social upheaval. When Ninetta is accused of stealing a silver spoon, a series of unfortunate events begins that makes a happy ending one would expect from a semi-serious opera seem unlikely.
